Official Accounting JM Thread 2022
-
I am surprised that almost NO JMC has a personal website this year. If they do, it is impossible to find.
Maybe it is "too early"? However, many JMCs are going to conferences, discussing papers, ... which could attract the attention of recruiters earlier than the formal review.
if we can't find you, or if we don't know that you are on the market, how are we suppose to talk to you?if a candidate wastes time building a personal website instead of pushing papers along, i won't hire them. There is absolutely zero incremental benefit when information is available elsewhere already.
Does it mean that public companies shouldn't have an investors relations section on their website since financial reports are published on EDGAR anyway?
Love this comment!

Does it mean that JMCs should be judged by the school they are coming from and not who they are and what they deserve? Is placement of JMCs a political based and not merit based? Please focus on this. I have tried to web scan all JMCs from "top" schools and they have nothing, no website, no research but still they get top paid jobs. Isnt this the most important thing to talk about?
I am not sure what you mean by merit or political; most rookies don't really have much of either at this stage. At my school we are trying to hire people we think will be successful in publishing influential articles in the top 3 journals over the next 10 years. The best predictors are already publishing in top 3 journals, how you present your work, how you answer questions, R&Rs at RAST and CAR, what your letters writers say about you, and the quality of your JMP.
On average, the main difference we observe between rookies from top, mid, and low tier school is how they answer questions and present their work. They simply seem farther along the development path than their peers from other institutions. Since we don't view publishing in 3rd tier journals as predictive for first tier publications (top 3), we put little weight on this information. If someone would like to do the analysis, I am happy to be proven wrong on this issue. In contrast, we do view publishing in the second tier journals (RAST and CAR) as a good predictor.

Thanks for the tip. Do you differentiate between a rookie's Top 3 pub with people well known in the field and a Top 3 pub with not so well known people?

Why wouldn’t you do that?

One has the benefit of being connected and the other the benefit of not being accused as a free-rider?
